Why are my supports being messed up?
Hi guys,
A print I tried today failed, twice. This is what the failure looks like:
The supports are all messed up so I aborted the print.
This is on a 0.25mm nozzle that I haven't had a lot of experience with, but I made a few successful prints with it. Here's the GCode for my print: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uptty11yxkb8m57/n0.25%20right%20hand%20piece.gcode?dl=0
Any idea why my print got messed up and what I should change to fix it? I should note that this is my second attempt at this print, and I lowered the speed to 20 mm/s. The layer height is 0.05mm.
Thanks,
Ram.
Re: Why are my supports being messed up?
Just a suggestion but I would start at a layer height that is a little more "standard" such as a .2 layer when using a .4 nozzle.
Maybe .15 or something? I have not use the .25 nozzle so just thinking out loud.
Re: Why are my supports being messed up?
Could you post a picture of the model from the slicer so we can see what it is supposed to look like?
The first layer - independent of the layer to layer height - should be 0.2mm. Did you change that in the slicer? If so that will certainly mess with the first layer.
Can you post the setting you have for the supports? That too might help.

Actually, first layer must be 0.15mm or greater; with a 0.25mm nozzle no more than 0.2mm.
